Explore the park like meadows at the base of Grayback Mountain, on the edge of the Yakama Nation, high above the Klickitat river in south central Washington, then climb to the summit for a spectacular 180 degree view stretching from The Dalles to the south to Mt. Adams to the north. A short, but sweet 20 mile exploration ride with options for a much longer route on nearby forest roads and the adjoining Klickitat Wildlife Area.

A mix of gravel, primitive dirt and tarmac encircling the Klickitat Trail, a rail-to-trail conversion in south central Washington, with bucolic views of pasture land, cattle ranches, wheat fields and wildlife...all in the shadow of the Columbia Hills and distant Cascade peaks. Look for an iron sculpture, hawks over head and black tailed deer darting across the road. (less)
